Stories OfBirds.

While Louis Gott was hunting near
Palmyra, No, he received u violent
blow on the side of the head, which
made him dizzy for q few moments.
When he recovered he saw a prairie
chicken hmPing away, and he thinks
it was the chicken that struck him.
Joseph O'Brien, of Cleveland, says
that he once examined q swallows nest
in which were two young birds. Around
the leg of one Of them horse-hair had
been closely wound. Mr.. O'Brien re-
moved the hair and found that the leg
had been broken. He thinks that this
was a genuine case of bird surgery.
A Valdosta, Ga, man driving along
the road near his home, saw a large
bald eagle devOuring a goose by the
roadside. He alighted, gathered a
light-wood knot, and advanced upon it,
but the eagle, so far from fleeing away
at his approach. stood by its game and
showed fight. The man walked to
within a few feet of it and, with a we'll
directed blow with the EghtwoOd knot,
knocked it over.

Young ladies are again wearing
plated blouse waists of sprigged or
striped linen, percaIe, or French lawn,
over skirts Of wooden or other material.
This is a very desirable revival, as it
enables one to wear q dress the bodice
of which may be too warm for the sum
NOR, or perhaps be no longer of use.
These dainty and cooI-looling substi-
tutes give a neat anu fresh appearance
to the wearer. Some elect for the full
plated blouse, with belt and buckle,
there being no basque. Others prefer
the Norfolk style, with the pleats ex-
tending below the waistband. Bodices
Of this class look best worn above a
self-colored skirt. Nauve and white,
black and white, ecru stripe with q
hair-line of blue, or cardinal, and
cream-coIor sprigged with brown or
dark green are favorite patterns for the
waist The sleeves are set in full at
the top like bishops sleeves, and are
gathered into a wide band at the wrist
The collar is cut in Byron shape, or
else IN high close fashion with u line
of white linen above. With the former
style a ribbon tie is invariably added.

A Famous Old Perfume.

Koln ;sches Wasser, or eau de Co
logne, was invented by Giovanni Maria
Parma In 1905. Farina was born at
Santa Maria AiaggiOre, in the north of
Italy, in the year 1865, but emigrated
in his early manhood to Cologne, where
he became naturaEzed as a citizen aid
changed his first name to the German
form, Johann. He Is known to have
been in business opposite the Juich's
place" in the year 1909. The manu-
facture of the renowned perfume has
always been q trade secret, most
carefully guarded. 1t is said that at
stated periods the proprietor retires to
a certain strong room. where, in solemn
solitude, surrounded by thousands OF
pounds worth Of precious oils, he COM
bines each of them as required. This
mixture is added to the spirit in great
casks, and the liquid IS always allowed
few months to mature before bOttling.
When the casks are emptied q deposit
OF blush mud is found in the bottom,
and this is collected and given away.
The poorer classes in Cologne are said
to have great faith in its virtues as an
smLrocation IN rheumatic affections.

An expert carver can divide poultry
without removing the fork from the
breastbOne or turning the bird on the
dish, but a beginner VIII do well to
have q small fork at hand for the pur-
pose OF laying cut portions aside as the
carving progresses. Turn the bird so
that the carving fork can be held in
the left hand and firmly fixed in the
breastbOne. and use a sharp knife with
q small flexible blade. First cut of
both drumsticks at the knee Joint, and
then remove the second joints. With
a tender bird this Is not a difficult
matter; but both strength and skill are
necessary to cope successfully with a
tough or underdOne turkey, because
very strong sinews are plentiful all
about the leg Joints. Next cut of the
rst joints of the wings, or the piniOns,
and then the joints nearest the body.
This method of cutting of the first
Oiuts of the legs and wings of the body
saves that troublesome feat of holding
those members while they are being
disjointed; frequently they slip about
on the platter aud spatter the dish
gravy.
After the wings are removed cut of
the merry thought or wishbone, and
chen the wing side bones which hold
the breast to the backbone; then carve
the breast in medium thin slices, and
serve the bird, giving gravy and stufing
on each plate. If the diners are nu-
merous it may be necessary to cut of
more of the flesh, and even to d smem-
Ler the carcass. This can be done with
more or less ease, as the carver under
stands the anatomy of the bird. If a
carver would study the location of the
FONTS while carving, and take the
Jrouble to cut up several carcasses by
str king the points where the bones are
Joined t eether, subsequent carving
would be easy. The joints Of all birds
are similarly placed, so nearly identi-
cal IN point Of junction that one is a
guide to all others.-J1tLtet COTSO1, IN

ferent in mineral constituents, and are all
situated within a space of thirty feet square.
A complete analysis of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure of several cases supposed here

them being AddisOn's disease Tor which, IL
is said by medical works, there Is no cure
has caused the corporation who have recent
